Autobiographical. JRRT's own mother died when he was quite young.

No, she was captured by Orcs in the Misty Mountains and tortured by them, but she survived (rescued by her sons, Elladan and Elrohir). Elrond was able to heal her physically, but she suffered from what we would call PTSD and sought the Havens for a trip back to Elvenhome.

I've noticed in most non-traditional Disney movies (i.e. Disney Channel movies) the mother or one parent is usually always missing, usually more often than in the "Disney Classics", and the Disney Channel movies usually aren't based on fairy tales.
And then think about every movie the Olsen twins have ever been in. |

I have always been disturbed by the 'no mother' trend in most children's movies... But it doesn't seem to be a Disney thing so much as a fairytale thing, you know? I wouldn't blame Disney. Except in Brother Bear, 'cause that was brutal...

I recall reading somewhere that early drafts of the script for Aladdin included his mother -- but apparently she was too interesting a character; as they re-wrote, they found her dominating the story to the point where it was more about her than Aladdin. So they tossed her out entirely. Understandable, but I think it would be an interesting idea to dig up some of those scripts and use them as the premise for a prequel....
